What separates these five

Blade length Published blade lengths run from 4.5 inches on the Ateco 1385 to 10 inches on the largest blade in the KEKEGO and Anaeat sets.
Set size Two picks are single spatulas, one is a two piece set, and two are three piece sets with 6, 8 and 10 inch blades.
Weight The OXO is the lightest pick at 0.22 lb. The KEKEGO set is the heaviest at 0.65 lb.
Handle material The Ateco 1385 uses a natural wood handle. The other four picks use non-slip handles in plastic or a soft grip.
Cleaning The OXO, PUCKWAY, KEKEGO and Anaeat makers state their spatulas are dishwasher safe. The Ateco maker does not state this.

How we chose

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.

  1. 30% Blade lengthIt sets the size of cake or pastry the spatula can cover in one pass.
  2. 25% Number of blades in the setA set with 6, 8 and 10 inch blades covers more tasks than a single blade.
  3. 20% Published weightIt is one of the few figures stated for most of the five picks.
  4. 15% Handle materialWood, plastic and soft grip handles are stated by each maker.
  5. 10% Dishwasher statementFour makers state dishwasher safe, one does not.

How the Five Compare on the Numbers

The five picks split into single spatulas and sets. The OXO Good Grips Bent Icing Spatula and the Ateco 1385 are single spatulas. The PUCKWAY and MCSDFN sets each include two blades, 6 and 8 inches. The KEKEGO and Anaeat sets each include three blades, 6, 8 and 10 inches. Blade length is the figure that decides how much surface a spatula covers in one pass.

Weight is published for four of the five. The OXO is the lightest at 0.22 lb. The PUCKWAY set is 0.3 lb, the Anaeat set is 0.48 lb, and the KEKEGO set is the heaviest at 0.65 lb. The Ateco 1385 maker does not publish a weight. Only the OXO and Ateco 1385 have any published dimensions.

The table does not tell you how any blade feels in the hand, how much it flexes, or how it spreads frosting. No one at Lush has used these spatulas. The figures above are what each maker publishes, and several makers publish very little. Where a cell reads not published, the maker states nothing.

Blade Length and What It Covers

Small blades for tight work

The Ateco 1385 has a 4.5 inch blade, the smallest published blade length among the five picks. The maker states the blade is tapered ground stainless steel and is attached to a natural wood handle with two rivets. A blade this size suits small cakes, cupcakes and edges where a longer blade would be awkward.

The OXO Good Grips Bent Icing Spatula does not have a published blade length. Its maker states the blade is flexible stainless steel and bent for clearance. Without a published length, the only size figures for this pick are its width, depth and height: 1.25, 12.5 and 0.88 inches.

Long blades for large surfaces

The KEKEGO and Anaeat sets each list 6, 8 and 10 inch blades. The 10 inch blade is the longest published blade length among the five picks. A blade that size covers more of a cake top in one pass. Both sets also include a 6 inch blade for smaller work.

The PUCKWAY and MCSDFN sets each list 6 and 8 inch blades. That covers two sizes rather than three. If you decorate cakes of several sizes, the three blade sets give you one more option. If you mostly work at one size, a two blade set may be enough.

Weight, Handles and Cleaning

Published weights

The OXO is the lightest pick at 0.22 lb. The PUCKWAY set is 0.3 lb, the Anaeat set is 0.48 lb, and the KEKEGO set is the heaviest at 0.65 lb. The Ateco 1385 maker does not publish a weight. Weight here is the weight of the whole set or single spatula as the maker lists it.

A three blade set weighs more than a single spatula in most cases, and the KEKEGO set is the heaviest of the five. That figure covers all three spatulas, not one. If you want the lightest single tool, the OXO at 0.22 lb is the one with a published figure.

Handles and dishwasher statements

The Ateco 1385 has a natural wood handle. The OXO has a soft non-slip handle. The KEKEGO, PUCKWAY, Anaeat and MCSDFN makers state non-slip or textured handles, generally in plastic. Handle material affects how the tool feels and how you clean it.

The OXO, PUCKWAY, KEKEGO, Anaeat and MCSDFN makers each state their spatulas are dishwasher safe. The Ateco 1385 maker does not state this. For a wood handle, hand washing is the safer habit, but the maker publishes no cleaning instruction either way.

Which One Fits Your Kitchen

You want one bent spatula with published dimensions. The OXO Good Grips Bent Icing Spatula is the only pick with a published width, depth and height, and it is the lightest at 0.22 lb.

You want three blade sizes in one set. The KEKEGO 3 PCS set includes 6, 8 and 10 inch blades and is the heaviest pick at 0.65 lb.

You want three blade sizes at a lower published weight. The Anaeat set includes 6, 8 and 10 inch blades and weighs 0.48 lb.

You want a two piece set. The PUCKWAY set has 6 and 8 inch blades and weighs 0.3 lb. The MCSDFN set also lists 6 and 8 inch blades.

You want a small blade with a wood handle. The Ateco 1385 has a 4.5 inch blade, a natural wood handle and two rivets. The maker does not publish a weight.
